Stand-alone Version”, You may Install and Access the Permitted Number of copies of the Software
on the Permitted Number of individual Computers, solely for Your internal business needs. You

applicable User Documentation, You may Install and Access one (1) copy of the Software on Your
Computer file server, for Your own internal business needs, using the Autodesk License Manager
